Request for Information: HCM Services and Solutions

The City of Cambridge is conducting market research to assess vendor capabilities for an Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) and Human Capital Management (HCM) solution. The RFI seeks detailed information on available modules, functionality, implementation approach, integration possibilities, and cost estimates (low‑ and high‑range) for a comprehensive suite covering HR, payroll, finance, budgeting, procurement, and related functions. Responses are due by October 8, 2026 and will be public record. • Scope includes 21 functional areas such as payroll, benefits, learning management, general ledger, budgeting, purchasing, and grant management. • Vendors must complete technical and pricing questionnaires in Excel, indicating module availability, functional fit, phased implementation timeline, and cost ranges in $10,000 increments. • No contract will be awarded from this RFI; the information will inform future procurement planning. • The City’s FY27 operating budget exceeds $1 billion, with a population of ~121,000, indicating a sizable implementation.
